2 ARMED CITIZENS K LL CONVICTS IN A RUNNING DUEL IN KANSAS Hundreds of Pursuers Now Out on the Trail of the Desperaie Men Who Escaped From the Leavenworth *Prison Stockade EAVENWORTH, Kane., Nov. §.— All the police, Deputy Sheriffs and farmers in the country adja- cent to Leavenworth were on the lookout to-day for the twenty-six federal convicts who escaped from the stockade here yesterday. As a result two convicts have been killed, two wounded and five captured unhurt. The casualties took place in a fight near Nortonville, Kan., that resulted in the death or cap- ture of five men. The dead are: JAMES HOFFMAN, aged 20 years, white. J. J. POFFENHOLZ, aged 2 years, white, a soldier convict. The wounded are: Johh Green, aged 21, white, and Willard Drake, aged 19, white, Fred Moore, aged 16, a negro, was recap- tured unhurt. The five men were discovered in the barn of Fay Weishaar, a quarter of a mile from Nortonville, Ka about 3 o'clock this afternoon. Weishaar went into the barn and was ordered out at the point of guns. He rushed to Nortonville and gathered a wagonload of men who | with revolvers, shotguns and a few rifles hastened to the scene. The convicts saw the men coming and rushed from the barn. They had a rifle, a shotgun and an old revolver. Hoffman carried the shotgun. In the running duel he was struck first in the hand. He yelled and dropped the gun. Just then a bullet entered his back and he fell dead. Poffen- Wi L MREST THE DEFAULTER Maccabee Officialsto Act Against Charles Thompson. | PORT HURON, Mich., Nov. 8.—It now | transpires that the Fidelity and Deposit | Company of Maryland, which carried the | bond of Charles D. Thompson, the self- confessed defaulting supreme finance- | keeper of the tent of the Knights of the | Maccabees before being released last | July, is still liable for any loss which the order may have sustained by the defalca- tion. Representatives of the company, it is sald, bave informed Maccabee officials that the loss will be paid. Therefore it is | now probable that Thompson will be ar- rested to-morrow. This was indicated to- night from a talk of officials of the order, and the arrest will come as a result of a conference between the trustees of the order and representatives of the bonding | company. 2 | The_heaviest loss, it is said, falls upon the Maryland Fidelity Company, as| Thompson's_defalcations since -August, | when the National Surety Company as- | sumed the risk, were comparatively small. | It was announced to-day that Thompson's | shortage was $60,000 instead of $57,000. All | data concerning the embezzlement are in | the hands of the bond company and or- ders are being awiited from iueadquar-w ters. The most important matter for consid- eration before the trustees was the selec- | tion of a successor for Thompson, but no successor was announced.

Green was brought down by a bullet in the knee. Drake was shot twice in the right wrist and arm. Drake says Suther- land, an Indian, was ghot in the fight at the stockade. Two unarmed convicts were found hid- ing in a ravine in a farm near Jarbalo, Kan., and they surrendered without re- sistance. The Sheriff of Douglass Cpunty captured two convicts at Lawrence, YKan. They are Ole Bobo, a half-breed Indian, and Joseph H. Deekin, a soldier serving a term for desertion and assault to kill. Frank Thompson, the negro desperado who led the outbreak, is supposed to be near Lawrence, heavily armed. He will probably not be taken alive. Nearly all the convicts came from Okla- homa and Indian Territory and they are supposed to be making for that country. They are a hard lot of men, used to fire- arms and horses. Some have tained both, but others are afoot and ense- less. Warden McCloughrey says he will capture every one of the men. In%the.dis- tricts around this city every road and river crossing that the fugitives might be expected to use is guarded by armed men, the farmers having turned out to earn the $60 reward that will be paid for the return of each convict. Those of the con- victs Y’rho are armed are likely to be shot at sight.

AMERICAN SHIPS MORE NUMERDUS Navigation Commission- er Tells of Growth of Marine. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—The report of United States Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain says that the past fiscal year has been the third successful year of growth in American shipping, exceeding the two previous years. The extent and nature of work under way or projected in shipyard¢ promises an even greater growth for the current fiscal year. American tonnage has now attained practically the former maximum of 186L The figures of 1901, compared with 1861, show an increase in coasting trade ves- sels from 2,704,55¢ tons to 4,582,683 tons great lakes); a decrease in foreign trade vessels from 2,496,948 tons to $79,59 tons, and a decrease in whaling and fishing ves- sels from 338,375 tons to 61,940 tons. Of our total tonnage 3,623,210 tons are wooden vessels and only 1,901,017 tons are iron or steel. In 1900 Great Britain iaunched 1,440,000 tons of steel vessels. Porto Rico appears in the returns with twenty-five vessels of 5297 tons and Ha- wail with sixty-four vessels of 37,14 tons. In tne Philippines 2340 vessels of 102,581 tons (of which 149 vessels are steam): are under American protection. Until Con- | gress has so enacted, the report says, | Philippine vessels are not vessels of the United States. Small American Cargoes. Although registered American vessels increased 62,65 tons during the year, | American vessels carried only 8.2 per cent of our exports and imports, the smallest percentage in our history. Our fleet of Ocean steamers in fofeign trade, the re- port says, is too small to be compared with that of foreign nations. The fleets of each of the four -large British and | German steamship corporations exceeds the American fleets in tonnage, mileage and busmmess. The tonnage built and documented in the United States during the past fiscal year comprised 1580 vessels of 483,469 gross tons. The steel vessels under construction or under contract during the current fiscal year will much exceed similar tonnage built in any previous year. The bureau is advised of eighty-nine such merchant vessels of 355465 gross tons, to be valued at about $36,000,000. Besides these seven- | ty-one naval vessels of 281,148 tons’ dis- placement are building. In this work | forty-four plants, with a capital of about | $68,000,000, employing about 46,000 men, are | engaged. | The American cost of building a _steam- er of the Minnehaha type is $1,846,800, and the British cost is $1,419,200. The Ameri- can cost of the smaller trans-Atlantic cgrgo steamers will be $729,000, and the Dliwfillsh price ranges from $534,000 to $486,- ‘Wages on the Vessels. The difference of wages on American and foreign vessels is considered in detail. The pay voll (excluding mas- ter), the report says, of 880 men on the steamship St. Louis is $11,300; of 427 men on the British steamship Oceanic is $3900, and of 900 men on the German steamship | Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse $7715. The report covtains a detailed statement of the foreign voyages of American ves- sels last year, showing that the American flag was seen much oftener in the North Atlantic during President Jefferson’'s em- | bargo (1808) or during the cruises of the Alabama than at present. Foreign ship- ping in our Pacific trade had doubled 1n three years. The purchase of the Ley- land line is spoken of in the report as evidence that American capital is. willing to invest in ocean steamships; that theis is an advantage to American exporters in American control of ocean steamships. | even if not under the American flag, and | that in the coming development of our ocean transportation facifities the union | of trunk rallroad lines and steamship cor- porations will be an important factor. Including the Leyland purchase, Ameri- can capital owns fully 670/000 tons of | steamers under foreign flags, which in} actual carrying power exceed all Ameri- can vessels now engaged in foreign trade. The War and Navy Departments also own 126,847 gross tons of foreign built trans- ports and colliers, . “The - principal foreign and American ocean mail contracts are printed in full, and 1t is shown that at the present prices of steamships British ocean mail contracts are more advantageous for steamer lines than American contracts under the act of 1891 Carnegie Now a Lord Rector.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, IF SCHLEY IS DULY VINDICATED ~ .|" ~HE MAY BECOME A VICE ADMIRAL ||, ..o s ¢ SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1901. Friends Are Most Anxious That Congress Reward the " Distinguished Naval Veteran. ALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—If the court of inquiry which has just fin- ished the taking of testimony rclative to the conduct of Rear Admiral Schley during the Santiago campaign ab- solves that officer from blame, or at most finds him guilty of only errors of judgment, a resolution will be introduced in Congress reviving the grade of vice admiral for his benefit. Should the court report, on the other hand, that Rear Admiral Schley was censurable under several precepts, a Congressional investigation is likely to be begun immediately after the session opens. It can be stated authoritatively that Secretary Long would * welcome such an investigation. against Rear Admiral Schley. In his communication to the fenate the Secretary made no charge of cowardice The Secretary rather belfeves him to be personally courageéous. At the same time Long stated that the commander-in-chief of the flying squadron lacked steadiness and push. It has been alleged that Rear Admiral Crowninshfeld, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, was head and front of the naval conspiracy which sought to discredit Rear Admiral Schley.. Rear Admiral Qrowninshield declares this charge ridiculous and fs prepared, his friends assert, to show conclusivelv that he has not engaged In any - movement against the admiral. It is asserted that the evidence presented before the court of inquiry has proven that there was no alter- Admiral Crowninshield. ation of the records of the Spanish wa r—another charge made against Rear - As showing the fairness of the President and Secretary Long, it is understood that if the court’s finding should be favorable to Rear Admiral Schley, :lhere will“he no opposition to the movement by the latter’s friends to secure for him proper reward. The court to-day began transferring effects from the gunners’ workshop in the navy yard to quarters in the Me- Lean building; which will be consulting quarters.” No conference will be held before next Monday, as the members are “in need of a physical rest. The. published testimony comprisgs more than §10,000 words. It is the purpose of the court to make a brief of the testimony relating ‘to-each specification of ‘the precept, and from this findings will be prepared. SULTAN BOWG BEFORE FRANGE Timorous Turkey Yields to All the Demands Made. P ; PARIS, Nov.. 8.—France has scored complete triumph in the Turkish dispute. An official note was issued at 1 p. m. to- day to the effect that the Porte has de- cided to yield to all the demands of France and that as soon as the ‘Sultan has issued an irade ratifying the decision the French squadron will leave Mitylene. This may be done within twenty-four hours, or it.is expected at the latest In two or three days. President Loubet presided to-day ‘at the Cablnet council. The Foreign Minister, M. Delcasse, announced that the Porte had just informed him that it had de- cided to give satisfaction in the case of the various French demands, in which M. Delcasse replied that so soon as the Sul- tan’s order regarding the Porte’s decision was communicated to him Admiral Cail- lard’s squadron would leave the island of Mitylene. The Temps prints a dispatch from Con- stantinople stating the Sultan has accept- ed the demands and authorizes and rec- ognizes the existence of religious and charitable institutions, and he authorizes the reconstruction of the schools and bospitals destroyed in the time of the Armenian troubles, of which a .detailed list is attached to the French note. Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish Foreign Min- ister, has announced that the recognition | of the Chaldean Patriarch demanded by France-already has been accorded. . VIENNA, Nov. 8.—The Neu Frie Presse publishes’ the contents of a circular note addressed by the “Ottoman Minister, Tewfik Pasha, to the representatives of Turkey abroad, announcing that the Porte has satisfied all' the French de- mands and expressing a hope that France will appreciate the conciliatory spirit thus displayed and resume the relations so un- dortunately interrupted. e SULTAN IS WELL SCARED. Success o!v France May Stir Other Powers to Action. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—Turkey's hands will be frequently in her pockets as a result of the naval demonstration which France is making. This at least is the opinion of the officials and diplomats who_have been considering the effect of the French seizure of the island of Mity- lene. France is not the only European power that has claims against Turkey, and in view of the success of the French method it would not be surprising should other nations observe it in the collection of_their claims. i Should the responsibility for the abdue- tion of Miss Stone be finally placed with- Turkey, the United States will present a claim for indemnity, and the French au- thorities here believe that the effect of their naval demonstration will be to cause the Porte to make arrangements for an immediate settlement. So far as the State Department is advised, none of the gov- ernments to which France communicated her purposes in connection with the seiz- ure of Mitylene island have responded unfavorably. Secretary Hay’s reply to the French representation was this: “The United States is not concerned should with the action of* France, but American interests be endangered, if will, of course, be necessary to provide them with protection.” - THE DAY’S DEAD, - 5, J.

FAOM BAIGANDS Endanger Safety of ; Miss Stone. SOFIA, Nov. 8—The Government last night caused the arrest of a man who was visiting United States Consul General Dickinson and searched him, presumably thinking he was an emissary of the brig- ands and hoping to seize a communica- tion to or from Miss Ellen M. Stone. The man was subsequently released. This act of the authorities was seem- ingly a deliberate attempt to frighten del- egates who might visit Dickinson and thus prevent negotiations from taking plate in Bulgarian territory. The attitude of the ‘authorities has hampered Dickin- son, as the brigands refuse to treat in Turkey. Dickinson, in his reply to Miss Stone's letter, urged the brigands to still further reductions in their demands and to accept the amount subscribed, in view of the de- termination of the Government not to contribute toward the ransom and the impossibility of collecting further sub- scripticns. "It is believed the brigan wili agree to this, as they are now begin ning to feel hard pressed and want money for current expenses, such as bribery of officials, peasants and others. The letter insists that the surrender of the priseners must precede or be simui- taneous with the payment, but leaves the question of the place open. A messenger last night brought a letter from.

Venezuela’s President Forgets Cour- tesy in Accepting Offer From Chile. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—In accepting Chile's offer of mediation it is apparent to the Washington administration that President Castro of Venezuela desired t» deliberately fnsult the United States. Of- ficial information of the acceptance of tha Chilean mediation has been received here, but in view of the terms fixed by Castro there is no disposition here to credit Chile with a desire to pursue the matter further. The United States offered to u: its good offices last August. The off: was gratefully received oy Colombia, which has insisted that it wants no for- eign war, but President Castro was un- willing to have the United States inter- vene. Castro is as much in need of external peace, it is learned from an officlul source, as is Colombia. His invasions of Colombia have been disastrous, and he i3 just making headway_ against revolution in his own territory. For him to now in- sist that Colombia shall make reparation and, oy, damages for an invasion by Co- lombia of his territory is said by the authorities here to be ridiculous. Senor Herran, Charge d’Affaires of the Colombian legation, said to-night that the Chilean offer of mediation was made long after the United States made known its willingness to intervene and was cordial- ly accepted by lis Government. The pre- tensions of President Castro are ridicu- lous, Herran said, and Colombia will cer- tainly not make reparation, because shs is guilty of no offense. by the capture of the port of Tumaco. The revolutionists took 400 or 500 soldiers as prisoners, captured five or six cannon, a number of rifles and a quantity of am- munition, with one small ship, the Caitan.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8—The first vessel to be caught in Antarctic ice this season and within 100 miles of the Horn ‘was the sugar bark Nunanu, which docked at the Spreckels Sugar Refinery to-day after a run of 129 days from Honolulu, After having encountered two severe gales on the Pacific Ocean she was nto?ed in the fleld ice in the early dnrt of September while rounding Cape Horn on her way to the Atlantic Ocean. Far to the south the ice could be seen. The sea was smooth and there was no si of land. The weather was fair at the time and this enabled the Nunanu to work her way into clear water. Captain Josslyn, the vessel's master, calculated that the ice was about 89 miles south of Cape Horn. The Nunanu’ run was over 14,000 miles. She is the first of a fleet of sugar-laden sailing vessels bound from the Hawaiian Islands to Phil- adelphia and New York, which, it is said, are to displace steamers, which have found the trade unprofitable owing to the long run. R ) PAYa FOR SPREE WITH HI3 LIFE Slave to Liquor Habit Carries Out Threat of Suicide. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SPOKANE, Nov. 8—Charles Adams ended a life wrecked by strong drink at Baltese, Mont., yesterday by shooting himself through the head. Adams was generally credited. with a peaceable dis- position, but when aroused by liquor he is said to have been almost a demon. Time and again he would reform and his friends would extend a helping hand, only to see him fall again. In the sumther of 1900 Adams was work- ing in the beet fields at Waverly. One day he hecame engaged in an altercation in a saloon with John Gaston. A blow from Adams’ fist sent Gaston to the floor and the stricken man died soon afterward. Adams was charged with manslaughter. At the trial he was acquitted, the jury deciding that he had acted in self-defense. Adams was admonished by Judge Ricn- ardson on his drinking habits and the young man seemed deeply impressed. When Adams left the jail he went to ‘Waverly and little was heard of him un- til he appeared in Spokane a few weeks later on a spree. Sheriff Cole took charge of the man and allowed him to sleep in the County Jail for a few nights. Adams again made promises of reformation. While in the jail he was exposed to small- pox and contracted the disease. T} he was sent to the Pesthouse, a county charge. Adams left the Pesthouse on January 5, full of intention to lead a better Iifs. He made a friend of Superintendent Hos. ler and the latter obtained for the young man in a mine near Baltese, Montana. Adams declared to Hosler be- fore leaving that if he ever took to drink again he would kill himself. Yesterday Mr. Hosler received word from Saltese that Adams had shot himself through the head while recovering from a spree.

It would be putting it far too strongly to say that the President and Senator Hanna occupy the relations that President Me- Kinley and Senator Hanna did, but the outcome of the visit of the Senator is that he and the President thoroughly under- stand each other and each will have the other’'s help. Coming on the heels of Roosevelt’s action In again upsetting the Addicks machine in Delaware, to which Senator Hanna had pledged his support with the administration, this may seem strange. It is nevertheless true that there is to be a strong community of interest between the President and Seénator Hanna at this session of Congress at least. Hanna Pledges Support. Senator Hanna has pledged his heartiest support to Roosevelt. The President will consult Semator Hanna, as chairman of the Republican National Committee, in @ el @ JLTED GIRL HAS REVENGE South Carolina Maid Pre- vents an Army Ap- pointment. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—President Roosevelt has decided that a man who iits a girl is not entitled to an appoint- ment in the army, as such conduct may be properly termed ungentlemanly, and contrary to the best interests of the ser- vice. He therefore refused to appoint for- mer Lieutenant William P. Crawford of Camden, S. C., second lieutenant in the regular army and thereby satisfled the girl's friends, who have made a deter- mined fight against the young man's ap- pointment. ‘There is nothing against young Craw- ford on file save the fact that he refused to marry the young woman to whom he ‘was engaged, and there would have been no obstacle in the way of his appointment had she not permitted her relatives and friends to protest against his selection. Cards Out for Wedding. The case has caused considerable stir at the War Department. Crawford served during the war with Spain as a captain of volunteers. He had a most creditable record and was slated for appointment last summer as second lleutenant of in- fantry along with hundreds of other young officers serving in the Philippines. When he became engaged to Miss Re- becca Douglass, of Camden, S.'C., the wedding day was named, cards were is- sued and presents began to be received. It was said that Crawford, who was the publisher of a small newspaper in his town, told his friends that-unless he was appointed he could not marry. His in- fluence in Washington seemed to insure his selection and all his plans, therefore, were completed for the event. Suddenly Crawford changed his mind and told the mother of the young woman he would not marry her daughter, but assigned no good reason for his change of purpose. Conduct Not Gentlemanly. Then it was that pressure was brought on the authorities here to prevent his being commissioned on the ground that if he was guilty of such conduct he was not entitled to associate with officers of the army. Politicians and other influen- tial people of South Carolina took the case up and brought it directly to the President’s attention. ‘The case is considered by the War De- partment officlals as unique and Is be- lieved to be the first on record where a protest against the selection of an appli- cant for commissioned rank has been based on precisely these grounds. T FIND GOLDEN ORE ON FEDERAL GROUND Precious Metal Discovered on the Site of a Proposed Government Building. HELENA, Mont.,, Nov. 8.—A ledge of free milling gold ore was struck to-dav while men were grading the foundation for the United States federal building, which is now under construction. The ledge is a strong one of iron-stainei gmrtl containing free milling gold. The overnment when letting the contract for the Government building explicitly stipulated that any finds of miner:\f made by the contractor should go to the Gov- ernment. This is the second strike of rich ore made within the Helena city lim its within the last thirty days. The ground througn which the ledge runs 1s in the best residence district of Helena. Surrenders to the Sheriff. SEVIERVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 8.—Bob Cattlett has given himself up to the Sher- iff of Sevier County to answer the charge of being an accomplice in the murder of Willlam Whaley and wife in 1397. Ples Wynn and Catilett Tipton were hanged in July, 1899, as the principals in the crime, and it was charged that Bob Catt- lett had paid them a sum of money to get ‘Whaley and his wife out of the way. Cattlett is one of the wealthiest meh in Sevier County. Pauncefote Talks of Treaty. WASHINGTON, Nov. $.—Lord Paunce- fote, the British Embassador, had a half- hour’s talk with Secretary Hay in ra to the preparaiion of the new ay- Pauncefote treaty. It is expected, in view of the progress that has been made, that the convention may be concluded the lat- ter part of next week. matters of party pelicy. On large ques- tions the two men appear to be together, with the possible exception of how trusis are to be treated. Even this difference may be reconciled. This exception con- stitutes the very important news of Sena- tor Hanna's visit. the campai, g:rns:’?n‘;ts.f He holds that great in- dustrial combinations are the natural ou growth of natiopal prosperity and are essential to America’s fight for supremacy in the markets of the world. He would let matters go on just as they are with- out saying anything to Congress about trusts and without seeking to curb them or_meddle with them in any way. President Roosevelt is of the impression| that Congress ought to do something, if not in the way of regulating trusts, at least in the way of making it possibie for investors to know exactly the sort of securities they are buying when they put their money in industrials. It is the pur- pose of the President, unless convinced of its inexpediency, to deal with this ques- tion in his message to Congress. He has been devoting much time to getting in- formation about corporations. No one expects that Roosevelt will fa- vor legislation to break up trusts and other great combinations, but he Is ex- pected to bear down very severely on cer- tain methods pursued by many persons and to make recomimendations that, in bis opinion, will improve conditions and protect the public. ‘Harmony on Legislation. 5 As to all other questions there is ap- parent harmony betwalen Senator Hanna President Roosevelt. .lgoosevelt is in favor of carrying out President McKinley's policy of Teciproc- ity. Treaties that were before the last Senate, with some additional conventions, wili be pressed in the Senate. President Roosevelt is in favor of the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty now being negotiated. Senator Hanna is ex| ectade:‘: id that treaty in every way. !Rgosevel! is not convinced of the wisdom of opening up the question of tariff re- vision. Senator Hanna will try to per- suade the President that the tariff should not be touched, and he will not have h trouble in'doing it. m;gesldent Roosevelt and Senator Hanna stand together on the question of an isth- mian canal, which was indorsed in the Republican natiogal platform adopted in Philadelphia.

In its earlier stages catarrh is more of a nuisance than a menace to the general health, but sooner or later, the disease extends to the throat, bronchial tubes and even,to the stomach and intestines. Catarrh is essentially a disease of the mucous membrane, the local symptoms being a profuse discharge of mucus, stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in throat, causing coughing, sneezing, gag- ging and frequent clearings of the threat and head. ‘The usual treatment by local douches, snuffs, salves, etc., often gives temporary relief, but anything like a cure can only be obtained by a treatment which removes .the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the inflammation from the mucous surfaces. A new remedy which meets these re- quirements and which so far has been re- markably successful in curing catarrh is Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act ufon the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hard- Iy be called a secret patent medicine as they are_composed of such valuable rem- edies as Sanguinaria, Hydrastin, Eucalyp- tol and similar cleansing antiseptics which cure by eliminating from the and mucous surfaces the catarrhal poisom. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets aré large, pleasant tasting lozenges taken internally. allowing them to dissolve slowly in t mouth; in this way they reach the throat, fauces and the entire alimentary canal. If desired, they may also be dissolved in water and used as a douche, in addi- tion to the internal use, but it is not at all necessary to use a douche; a few of them dissolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient. However, when there is much stoppage of the nose, a douche made from these tablets will give immeoo diate relief, but the regular daily use in- ternally of these tablets will cure the whole .catarrhal trouble without resorting to_the_inconvenience of a douche. Dr. Bement states “that the internal treatment for catarrh is rapidly taki the place of the old plan of douching, a local application and further says thac probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market is Sta- art’s Catarrh Tablets, as no seeret is made of their composition and all the really efficient remedies for catarrh are contaired in this table Druggists sell Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets at fifty cents for full sized packages. Ask your druggist and if he is honest he will tell you there is no safer, more palatable, more efficient and convenient remedy on the market. DR. MEYERS & CO. SPECIALISTS FOR MEN.
